Having not read any of the code, I'm just taking a wild guess; but is it  
reasonable to say that since the repository was originally imported to git  
using git-svnimport (rather than git-svn), git-svn doesn't have some of  
the data it needs to push to the remote svn repo?

Exactly, git-svn needs the git-svn-id: lines at the end of each commit
for 'commit' and 'dcommit' to work.  So using a repo created by
git-svnimport will not work.

'commit-diff' will work, however it's intended as a low-level command
('commit' should be that, too).

Would it be reasonable to use git-svn to import the SVN repository into a  
new git repo, and then rebase from the old git-svnimport'ed repo into the  
new git-svn imported one?  (did that even make sense?!?)

Yes, something along those lines would work.
